Review: Essence Nail Art Cracking Top Coat in Crack Me Black

Essence nail polishes are hard to come by in India. But where they are available, they are an instant hit. The reason is simple. They are super affordable and high quality. On my recent trip abroad, I picked up a few Essence products. The cracking top coat up for review today is one of the few nail paints I picked up.Product name:Essence Nail Art Cracking Top Coat in Crack Me Black

Essence Nail Art Cracking Top Coat in Crack Me Black

My thoughts: Cracking top coats can be a nice and easy way to get a nail art fix for your mani. While most cracking polish available in India are a bit more expensive than their regular polishes, the Essence cracking top coats were surprisingly cheap. I layered the black over a nude nail paint and was quite happy with the results.
